Biden Vetoes Judges Act of 2024 on December 23, Blocking Addition of 66 Judges Amid Judicial Backlog
Dec 24, 2024, 03:37 PM
President Joe Biden vetoed the Judges Act of 2024 on December 23, which aimed to add 66 new judges to the understaffed federal courts. The legislation, which had garnered bipartisan support, was intended to address a backlog in the judicial system. Biden cited concerns about 'hurried action' by the House, stating that important questions regarding the need for new judges and their allocation remained unanswered. This veto has drawn criticism from both sides of the aisle, with some lawmakers expressing disappointment that it could hinder the judicial process at a time when courts are facing increasing caseloads. The bill's failure may also impact the upcoming presidential administration, as it would have allowed for judicial appointments across three terms, potentially limiting the influence of the incoming administration under President-elect Donald Trump.
